This refers to my question about the ability for users to update their form answers.

I'm just curious: technically speaking, since the result are stored in database as a block of text, isn't it possible for you to do a sql update query to replace that row with the new row?

How about we change the way we store data in database as column, would it be easier for you?

I'm just throwing it up out there and hope for a chance you will ponder the possibility.

Thanks

When a form is submitted, I would like an automated specific prefix to be added to the thread. How would I go about doing this?

You can specify a prefix for a thread when editing a form.

No dice, still redirects to first forum

If you'd like admin access to view it, I can give you a test login that'll allow you to edit the forms on my board.

It looks like the custom output is working differently for drop-down choices.

Here is an example:

Question: What is your favorite color? (single-selection drop-down)

When not using a custom output format, it displays fine, like this:

What is your favorite color?
Blue

Using a custom output it looks to display the number of the choice, rather than the choice itself, like this:

This is the custom output:
{username} tells us that their favorite color is $q[30].

(username) tells us that their favorite color is 2.

It seems to work well for the normal text fields.

Nevermind, all fixed.

How do i remove from a post that appears as a blank space when a user does not fill in an optional question.

Looks very interesting, and good for an idea I have.

Use custom output:
